@Kurt: It's a history of the song-poem industry that aired on PBS a few years back. You know, send us your lyrics and $200.00 and we'll record it for you and make you a star? Eskelin's dad Rodd Keith (Eskelin) was one of the most talented and prolific *translators* of customer material in the business. Very insightful, sad, and a very entertaining 56 minutes.

Kurt Gottschalk:
oh, right carm. i've heard of that. ellery actually wrote about it for the old wfmu magazine 'lcd.' (it's included in the compilation dave the spazz edited a couple years back.) ellery and andrea parkins also did a great record reinterpreting his dad's songs.

@Kurt: I really liked what little I heard of Rodd Keith's music. I know he used a mellotron on a lot of it, which was rare in the early 70s. I'll look up the CD you're referring to.

oh god north, don't ask...we've had some trashy people move in my place over the past year and some guy was going off on the two "slimer grannies" (after The Slime People film) sitting outside smoking cigarettes and being a pain in the arse.

Scott B.:

Haven't been to the DMG since I had disposable income. Hopefully w/ the interviews next week, I'll have some disposable income in the near future.

Fri. 6/14/13 5:16pm
Scott B.:
Yeah, North I know what you mean. My disposable income is limited at present esp. for expensive music, books etc. Nevermind that, I ripped this guy's bookstore in Bellmore a second one the other day on Yelp...total assclown. He wanted $700 for old issues of Crypt of Cthulhu mag.!!! 26 issues and not even early ones. What a putz. Such an obnoxious old man.

Scott B.:
nah it's just some of the characters that have moved into my apt. complex the past year or two were such cretinous white trash (almost anyway) that i had to dub them The Slime People after one of my fave old SF movies. Two of them are like these old nasty ladies that sit there wearing shitty dirty sweats clothes whatever and chainsmoke all day long and do little else. Plus one of them granny of some obnoxious feckin little kid
skateboarding around and being a total nuisance.

Scott B.:
Some moronic neighbor told me one of the grannies the one watching the annoying little psycho kid on the skateboard are like mob types...i doubt it. If so, they are destitute mob types!

Southern white-trash are nicer, and cook better. Source: I've lived among trash all over the place.

Scott B.:
especially when the slime people come out of the sewers and viaduct elevators and stab you with their triton!

Fri. 6/14/13 5:24pm
spodiodi:
Even mobbed up grannies like to be comfy.

Fri. 6/14/13 5:25pm
Scott B.:
they ain't like the Gottis over there in Old Westbury believe me! But they dress about the same, all told. oh and the kid and some cretin uncle were playing with like guns or pellet guns the other day!

Getting stabbed once with a triton, is like getting stabbed three times with a more ordinary weapon.
